Quote:(but why the small hole in the bottom???)Normally I'd be the first to deny that every find 'must' have areligious meaning, but here, well.. In the Danish bogs, items were clearly damaged befor thrown in the water.
(again many with that pesky neat small hole)
Either the holes are drilled or natural. If drilled, there must be a reason, either to render the vessels unusable, of for something we don't understand.
Just my 2 cents.
